Chapter 675 Blue and Black Storm Transfer [Update 1]
Time is passing slowly.
For many Inter Milan fans, they really want to have a magical clock in their hands at this moment. As long as they gently twist the hands, they can make time flow quickly, so that they can appreciate the [Nerazzurri] in Abu Dhabi. It’s a glorious moment for Zabi to lift the Club World Cup trophy!
Many ‘Nerazzurri’ firmly believe that the Club World Cup final is just a formality.
No one can stop the 'blue-black storm' that is gradually forming!
The glory of the [Triple Crown] has returned, and the king has returned to the top of glory. Inter Milan will make those who have madly challenged the dignity of the king in the past six months pay a bloody price!
When the king was angry, he was bleeding and floating in the oars, and his corpse was floating thousands of miles away!
2. Just when everyone is looking forward to the Club World Cup final, tens of millions of transfers continue to come from the European football winter transfer market, attracting the attention of fans all over the world——
Liverpool, which has had an unfavorable season and a poor record, took the lead in breaking the deadlock on transfers between giants.
They used the price of 6 million pounds to sell the Dutch winger Ryan Babel, whose former coach Benitez spent 11.5 million euros to buy, to Bundesliga upstart Höfenheim, and then used the money, plus The new owner Henry's investment brought in Uruguayan [killer] Luis Suarez at a high price of 26.5 million euros!
Suarez performed well in the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, especially his handball in front of the goal in the quarter-finals against the [Three Lions] England team, which made many fans remember him. After the World Cup, Among the best lineups officially selected by the World Football Federation, this player nicknamed "The Killer" can partner with Leo Messi, who won the championship in the first battle, which shows how huge his potential is!
In fact, in addition to his wonderful performance in the World Cup, Luis Suarez has long been famous in the Eredivisie. He scored 36 goals and 17 assists in 35 games in a single season. He scored 6 goals in a single game. Super report card... These have long attracted the attention of the world's richest families!
Liverpool suddenly made a lightning move to sign him during the winter transfer period, causing many hesitant clubs who wanted to wait until the summer transfer period to make plans to complain and regret it!
After Liverpool announced the high-priced introduction of [Killer] Suarez, people had not yet reacted to this shocking transfer worth tens of millions, and another blockbuster bomb exploded in the transfer market... This time, the protagonist is 【Nerazzurri】Inter Milan!
December 17th.
Inter Milan announced the winter signings on its official website.
"...The club has officially reached an agreement with the Premier League team Newcastle, and has introduced Welsh full-back Gareth Bale, English forward Nicolas Gigi and full-back David Thornton in a package of 45 million euros!"
As soon as the news came out, it shocked the whole world! !
This can definitely be regarded as a robbery-like acquisition! !
There is no doubt that Newcastle is definitely hemorrhaging money. The three people recruited by Inter Milan are all super stars recognized by European football as having unlimited potential. I really don’t know what Newcastle’s new boss John Henry is thinking, or is it possible? Has he become such an idiot that he will not give up until Newcastle is restored to its original form?
Faced with crazy opposition from Magpies fans, John Henry explained in an interview with the Newcastle Post -
"...This is a very ordinary player trade issue. I don't think there is anything difficult to accept. Without Bale, we still have Marcelo, without Thornton, we still have Steven Taylor, and without Giannis Kat, we still have Irving and Carroll... These three players are not the absolute main force of the team. They are still too young. Who knows whether they will be worth 45 million in a few seasons? I will use these? Funds to bring more great and mature stars to St. James Park... and Mr. Rijkaard also appreciates this approach very much!”
John Henry felt that he had explained it very satisfactorily.
As a businessman, he has no doubt that he has made a good deal. In his view, the management of the club is a disguised form of venture capital, and the transaction that has just concluded is a sure-profit investment. The three young men Except for Thornton, who is the absolute main player, the other two players are rotation players. Who knows what potential will look like in three or four years? Maybe you will lose money in your hands, 45 million is simply a ‘super big snack’ delivered to your door.
What is more important than money is that he needs to weaken the influence of the former chairman and head coach Madman Lee at St. James Park. Gigi, Thornton and Bell are all direct descendants of Madman Lee, young and passionate. Selling it was just what he wanted. He even wanted to bury Marcelo, Lloris and others, but these people were the absolute main force of the team, and the head coach Rijkaard was firmly anti-imperialist, so he gave up!
But it is obvious that the fans find it difficult to accept the club chairman's explanation.
“Henry’s head is filled with shit!!!”
"The wealth he built up with Li is about to be wiped out..."
"David Thornton will be the left winger of the team in the next ten years. He is so young and capable, and he actually bought... Does Henry only have money in his eyes?"
"Is Li poaching?"
Newcastle's record this season is not very good. After half a season, they are ranked fourth in the Premier League standings and barely qualified for next season's Champions League. Moreover, after losing Ronaldo, their main striker Michael Owen was injured for half the season. 3 times and missed many games. If Rijkaard had not worked hard to retain [Bear Bear] Andy Carroll, the results would probably be even worse!
Magpies fans originally expected the team to introduce some heavyweight stars during the winter transfer period to strengthen the team's competitiveness in order to maintain the momentum of sweeping opponents like a storm in the Crazy Li era. Who would have thought that the superstar did not wait, but what he waited for? The star of hope in the team was sold off, how could they not be anxious? How can you not be angry?
They even hung a giant banner at the team's training base——
"Henry, we are waiting for the superstar you promised to bring us!!"
One day later, Newcastle's chairman John Henry gave the answer to the fans - the club announced that it would purchase Brazilian full-back Cicinho from the Italian giants Roma for 6 million euros to make up for the vacancy left by Thornton!
With Cicinho and the growing Mancini, Newcastle does not seem to need to worry about the team's right wing.
In terms of forwards, there are also some rumors in the English media. It is said that Newcastle is eyeing Atletico Madrid striker Aguero and Lyon striker Lisandro Lopez, and even former Arsenal striker Eduardo is also interested. Among the goals!
As for Cicinho, who has already been acquired, Newcastle fans maintain a wait-and-see attitude.
The Brazilian full-back has a strong assist ability. He once played for a giant like Real Madrid and is relatively well-known internationally. The only regret is that he is a bit older. Of course, you can also say that Cicinho has rich experience like John Henry. '...
The fans are silent.
Whether it was a mule or a horse, they were waiting for Sicinho's performance.
As long as Cicinho can't help the team, it is estimated that the accumulated emotions of the Magpies will be enough to turn St. James' Park into a volcano erupting with magma!
…
Inter Milan’s transfer operation of purchasing Thornton, Bale and Gigi for 45 million won unanimous praise from authoritative football media and ‘Nerazzurri’!
Thornton was originally a treasure from the Nerazzurri youth training camp. Before he could show his prominence in the Inter Milan first team, he was abducted by Crazy Li. Later, the little guy performed well at St. James Park Stadium. I don’t know how many The die-hard Nerazzurri scolded madman Li Shamelessly and the club coaches for being short-sighted... Now, madman Li has become the commander-in-chief of Meazza, and the 'wandering prodigal son' has returned to his mother's arms... The whole blue sky The black camp is rejoicing!
Although Gareth Bale's performance at Newcastle was average, especially when he was completely at a disadvantage with Marcelo during Rijkaard's coaching period, he was better because of his youth, and the potential of the Welsh teenager has also been recognized in European football. It has received unanimous praise, and many people believe that under the guidance of a talent like Crazy Li, it may bring a miracle to world football!
As for Nicolas Gigi, let alone that.
As early as when he was loaned to AC Milan, Gigi shocked the Apennine Peninsula. The little guy's performance at San Siro once steadily surpassed the Brazilian golden boy Pato. He scored wonderful goals in two Milan games, and even Performed a hat-trick, and the astonishing 'taillight frequency conversion technology' won the praise of senior celebrities such as football king Pele and art master Zidane, leaving an indelible impression on the Nerazzurri. The Italian media even mentioned it. The name of [Angel] is on Gigi's head... The arrival of the English mixed-race youngster also makes the Nerazzurri fans ecstatic!
"Gazzetta dello Sport" was full of praise for Inter Milan's lightning transfer operation——
"...A very cost-effective transfer. [Emperor Blanca] once again showed us his superb transfer skills and vision. In my opinion, this is not an investment in the future as many people said." , David, Gareth and Nicholas are all excellent players who can compete... Of course, I also smell the smell of Crazy Lee. This kind of lightning-fast finalization is the typical style of Crazy Lee, and, can To introduce them so smoothly, I guess Crazy Li’s appeal also played a big role!”
"Gazzetta dello Sport" teased Newcastle Chairman John Henry at the end: "The most important thing is that we need to thank Mr. John Henry for his generosity, haha, 45 million, he feels that he has taken a big advantage, maybe for one season... oh No, after half a season, Mr. Henry will be thinking about crying!"
Gazzetta dello Sport's statement was also rarely supported by the English media.
The more authoritative media in England, such as the Daily Express, the Times, the Mirror, the Observer, and World Football, are all pessimistic about Newcastle's transfer. As media familiar with all kinds of gossip in the circle, they can naturally see the behind-the-scenes information conveyed by this transfer: "For John Henry, it is naturally an unquestionable choice to find a way to eliminate the influence left by Crazy Lee, but the means taken are a bit stupid, which simply ruins the team's future hopes... The most pitiful person is Rijkaard. The Dutchman with a relatively docile personality misses the former chairman Crazy Lee very much at this moment, because Crazy Lee knows the Dutchman's work so well. And John Henry? It will probably take a long time for him to transform from a businessman to a real club chairman. This period of time is crucial for the Newcastle Club. If the team can hold on, then they can really become a Premier League powerhouse! Otherwise..."
……
……
The storm continues!
After acquiring Thornton, Bale and Gigi, Inter Milan's acquisition pace has not stopped at all, because according to the news previously revealed by "Gazzetta dello Sport", Moratti has only spent a little over half of the 80 million transfer funds he spent!
[Emperor Branca] is like a ghost hanging over the heads of major European teams. He still flies back and forth between major European leagues all day long. Many club owners will pray in fear before going to bed at night: Don't let that Italian take a fancy to the players of their clubs, otherwise, with the appeal of Madman Li to the players and the huge reputation of Inter Milan, as well as the flying euros, who can resist?
For a time, major European media outlets were all reporting Blanca's actions in a speculative manner -
"Blanca appears in Portugal, Nerazzurri eyeing Argentine winger Di Maria"
"[Transfer Emperor] appears in Germany, Wolfsburg center Dzeko enters the sight of Crazy Lee"
"Inter Milan goes all out to attack Slovak midfielder Hamsik"
"Moratti likes Brazilian prodigy Neymar..."
"New Kaganzo is the first target of [Blanca Emperor]"
"Mascherano, who is frustrated at Camp Nou, is expected to renew his relationship with Crazy Lee"
"Alien Ronaldo may return to the European League"
"Latest news: Benzema may transfer to Inter Milan"
"..."
This winter transfer period, because of Crazy Lee and the legendary 80 million euros, Inter Milan, which performed poorly in the first half of the league, has transformed into a super protagonist that is unrivaled at the moment. Although other giants occasionally make big moves, they are difficult to attract the attention of fans and the media!
The winter transfer market officially opens on January 1.
Many people can foresee that by then, there will undoubtedly be many unfamiliar faces in the Nerazzurri’s lineup, and the second half of the season will basically be a brand new season for the team! ——
Let me tell you something.
I didn’t expect such a big reaction from Milan fans.
This is just like a novel. When I wrote about Spain before, I said that no matter how it is written in the novel, the achievements of the team in reality are eternal!
Haha, I apologize to Milan fans.
Thank you brothers and sisters for your concern. Today, several fans asked me about my cold. I feel much better. At least the fever has subsided, but I just have a little cough. Thank you!
